Awesome! Best shortbread recipe I've tried! - 18 Dec 2010
My mother, a hard-to-please Scot, says this shortbread is the yummiest she's had for a long time - and reminds her of the shortbread her mother used to make in the homeland. - 03 Jan 2010
Loved the easy recipe with only 3 ingredients. Unfortunately the prevailing flavour is brown sugar rather than butter which was unpleasant. What a pity. - 12 Jan 2012
